There will be many things on the program for Southern California men and women tomorrow. Many will be away at their homes or on trips. But for those who can be in this vicinity, let us remember that the Trojan varsity is playing its last big game before we meet Notre Dame. There will be a big holiday crowd in the Coliseum to cheer the visitors. We want no let-up in team fight, tomorrow; let there be no slackening of student body support.
Y MEN 10 CROWD J_0I0 GAME!
Students Will Handle Notre Dame-Southern California Game Crowds.
The thousands of people who will crowd into the Caliseum to see the Notre Dame-Southern California game will be taken care of by the same system adopted for the Stanford struggle, it was announced by Arnold Eddy, yesterday.
Over a thousand men will be employed to handle the crowd at next week’s game. Of these 500 will be high school students who will serve as ushers. University men will fill the rest of the positions which include gatemen, guards, section chiefs, assistant chiefs, and miscellaneous workers. The work of these men will •be no easy task because, by actual computation, more, than one-half of the crowd that sees a game will enter the gates in about a half hour.
Besides the men who handle the crowds, over one hundred students are employed to sell the official program, the “Pigskin Review.”

FLOWERS TO WAVE IN S. C. SECTION
Women Rooters To Bring Cardinal and Gold Felt Flowers To Big Game.
A new idea in the form of felt flowers for the girl’s corsages, is to be tried at the Notre Dame game. Under the supervision of Marion France, the Y. W. C. A. is planning to sell cardinal and gold felt flowers as the standard symbol of the girl’s rooting section to correspond to the boys’ rooting caps. All loyal supporters of the Trojans, including outsiders are permitted to wear them. The flowers, which are an entirely original idea, axe to cost no more than the usual corsage.
Members of the Freshman Club of the Y. W. C. A. are assigned the duty of taking orders for the flowers from the sororities and various women’s organizations which orders will be delivered to the houses. Only one hundred flowers more than those ordered are to be made to sell at the gates, so those who can order flowers no other way are advised to place their order at the Y. W. C. A. soon.

According to a report, from Cecile Vigne, it was first thought best to postpone the dance until a later date because of the fact that many other campus organizations are giving dances on the same evening, but as the date had been set and the plans already made the idea was abandoned.
